Still here.

Still here, folks. Still going to train for a marathon. Putting a new plan together, more details on it later, but it involves not actually doing a lot of running (huh?) more to come…hope if you’re reading this, you’re well.

Shit, this means I have to run, doesn’t it?


So just to set the record straight, I am not a total novice. I’ve run some races, signed up for others that I haven’t run (I am an expert at the registration process) and up until a couple of weeks ago, had been running 3-5 times per week for close to a month…then, my first running related injury: I blew out my calf. Right in front of three middle-aged women that were out-pacing my ass anyway. RAD. Then next week, I came back too soon, and blew it out again. So I took a full two weeks off, stretched when I remembered to, drinking a lot of beer, and basically reversing any progress I’d made that first month. I will not be running tomorrow, however I do plan to do some VERY aggressive dog walking. I might even jump off of a curb. This is all for the sake of testing so I can actually do a short run Friday, extend it a bit Saturday, and jump back in fully on Monday.

This marathon ain’t gonna run itself…
